Hello dear
readers!
As we all
know, Eid Mubarak is just around the corner. I have prepared someting that you
guys might use for your tummy’s satisfaction. I have been helping my mom and
sister in the kitchen for our Raya preparations. Kitchen... Raya prep... Can
you guess? Yes, of course! Kuih Raya!
What’s Raya without yummy kuih Raya(s)? It’s definitely a must. Am i right or
am i right? Hehe.
Okay now..
What’s your favourite kuih Raya, guys?

(Feel free to comment
and interact with us! ҉ )
Well if you
ask me (even if you didn’t wonder, I’m still going to say it hehe), mine is
kuih cornflakes (honey cornflakes cups), kuih samprit, kuih makmur (especially
my nenek’s, she makes the best kuih
makmur since.. forever! No lies.) and
the list goes on and on...
Due to some
hecticness, I decided to share simple (egg-less, so no eggs needed. How
simple!) kuih recipes which are... my
faves - kuih cornflakes and kuih
samprit. Also, since my mom and sister are baking those kuihs, I decided to
observe and ask for the recipes at the drop of a hat!
Okay
so, are you guys ready? Of course you are! Hehe.
Recipe 1: Honey
cornflakes cups
You may need:
1.
100g
of butter
2.
3
tablespoons of brown sugar
3.
6
tablespoons of honey
4.
3
tablespoons of peanut butter (major bonus for peanut butter lovers like me!)
5.
200g
of cornflakes cereal
6.
Cherries
(only if you like them, haha)
7.
Small-sized
paper liners (small portions are better. Like a malay saying – sikit-sikit,
lama-lama jadi bukit. Okay... that does not makes any sense! L)
8.
Colourful
sprinkles (for attractive-looking kuih)
9.
An
oven (to crisp these babies up!)
10. High patience (because trust me, it
takes time to put them into those paper liners and having to wait them to get a
little crispy in the oven)
Alright, now...
the fun part – mixing them ingredients
together!
Step 1: Mix
the butter and brown sugar together in a small pot. Turn on the heat (oh yes, you
need to do this on the stove!) (p/s: the
amount of these ingredients depend on the amount of your cornflakes cereal)
Step 2: After
the butter and brown sugar mixed together well, add in honey and 3 (or tons of it!!!) tablespoons of peanut butter. Oh, not to forget, add your cherries in. You can adjust the taste by adding sugar (if you
prefer sweeter taste). Once the mixture thicken up and you’re happy with the
taste, turn the heat off.
● You will
get something like this:
This mixture has no
cherries, you can put the cherries in later on J
Step 3: Next,
prepare your cornflakes cereal in a bowl. Preferably a big bowl, so that it
would be easier for you to mix the mixture and cornflakes together.
● Your
cornflakes mix will look like...
This.
(for your information,
this is our second batch making and we decided to not put cherries in. Hence,
the cherry-less mix. You can either mix or not, depends on your liking J)
Step 4: Now,
the part where would test your patience – putting them cornflakes into your
paper liners. After that, bake them in the oven at 175 °c for 3-4 minutes (or
until they’re nice and golden.)
Step
5: Last but not least, arrange your kuih in an air-tight container and you can
munch on your kuih anytime! Hehe.
Moving
on... the second recipe. This one, Kuih Samprit Susu is really good, I tell
you. I think it is a little bit different from the normal samprit? The normal
samprit has eggs in the mixture however this one does not need eggs. So I guess
both of them have different texture. Right?
Recipe
2: Kuih Samprit Susu
You
may need:
1. 250g of butter
2. ¾ cup of sweet condensed milk
3. 400g of corn flour
4. 5 tablespoons of custard flour
5. 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
6. A few drops of yellow colouring
7. Cherries or chocolate chips (for
decoration)
8. A cookie press OR piping bag & piping nozzle.
This
is how my cookie press looks like. If you do not have a cookie press, not to
worry because a piping bag and a nozzle would do the trick! J
Okay,
firstly...
a) Beat the butter, sweet condensed milk,
vanilla extract and yellow colouring in together in a mixing bowl for a few
minutes at medium speed.
b) Next, add the dry ingredients – corn
flour and custard flour into the mixture together.
c) Beat until smooth.
d) Prepare many (many many) cookie trays.
Make sure they are greased well with butter or margerine (both works) or you
can use a non-stick baking spray.
e) If you have a cookie press, all you have to do
is to put an amount of the dough inside the cookie press. After pressed on
cookie trays, put cherry cubes in the middle. You can also use chocolate chips,
it all depends on what you prefer.
You’ll
get something like this:
***
If you’re using piping bag and a nozzle, you need to use a star nozzle like
this:
And
your kuih samprit will look like this:

from Google, I’m sorry to the owner of the picture (and thanks).
f ) Bake for 15-20 minutes at 175°c.
Always keep an eye on your cookies, because you would not want burnt batch of
cookies. Hint: when the base is golden brown, it is done.
g) Leave them to cool for a few minutes
and put them inside an air-tight container for last-long freshness.
